Thought I posted pics when I did the bed liner in my RCSB. Here's some anyway:

I used the SEM Products Rock-It Liner. Just like the Raptor liner.

I sprayed my bed with the Rapter liner about 6 months ago and it is just as tough as my dad's Line-X. As far as thickness of it, I sprayed two coats which ended up being the entire kit. It took about 4 hours to scrub the bed, scuff it, prep and spray. I wish I would have done it a lot sooner! I've been throwing my deer stands in the back thinking it would chip at least a little but nope, its tough stuff. If you don't mind a little labor, its well worth saving the money! Got the kit off Amazon with the spray gun. If you are on the fence, jump off and get to work.

I know this is an old thread but does anyone know if the raptor or any of the other soray kits can be mixed with paint painted over... Thought id seen a kit that you could mix paint with and it would basically make it the same color as the rest....

I have a friend that uses the U-POL Raptor liner on hot rods and it's a hard product.

The stuff you're thinking of was on Ebay at one time just can't remember the name of it.

I want the protection of the bedliner on my rockers and probably the lower part of the doors and bedsides but i dont necessarily want it to look like bedliner, kinda the way the newer trucks have the rocker panels..... Not sure if its bedliner or what but ive seen brand new chevy trucks with it!!

It might be a product like 3M Rocker Panel Coating. Also known as Body Guard or Chip Guard. It's a sprayable product that protects against chips and scratches. Usually applied to the the rockers on some cars.
